What does Un Air de Samsara smell like?
Jasmine and narcissus form the floral core, while bergamot and mint add a cool, green freshness. A fruity touch brightens it, and a woody, lightly spicy, powdery warmth stays in the background.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters suggest spring, fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen occasions. Nearly half of voters call it feminine.
